Wherever the FO's are going, Delta, United, American or la la Land, everyone has to make their own choices with the information they have at that point in time. I wish everyone a warm farewell, tailwinds and a prosperous career. Everyone has their own line in the sand.

Many of us will remain bc we made G4 our choice career and we know that we will get a contract that will have great improvements from the current (First) one. It won't be Delta, United, or some cliche of industry standard. But it will definitely surpass our ULCC peers by a lot in many ways, and in other ways it might not. What matters is that the needle be moved in this place in the right direction, and not try to believe we can just leapfrog EVERYONE into becoming Delta/United on day trips; that's ludicrous!

Next thing that G4 pilots should be looking forward to, striving and hoping for is to have proper representation and good leadership, beginning January 1st. This absolutely is a fresh start since TA ratification in 2016. 2026 will be a good and interesting year for G4, and G4 pilots.

Merry belated Christmas my friends, and happy new year.
